“We’re thrilled to bring these candidates together on the same stage in Baltimore,” Betsy Halsey, president of United for Maryland PAC, said in a statement. The group partnered with the Greater Baltimore Grassroots Coalition to host the forum.

Sheila Ruth, organizer of the regional grass-roots coalition, added in a news release: “This event represents a vital opportunity for Baltimore area voters to decide who the best leader is for Maryland’s future.”
